3D printers are built for additive manufacturing. However, at heart, they are really just simple CNC motion platforms, and can be readily repurposed to other tasks. As [Arseniy] demonstrates, it’s not ...

Although the components of wood – cellulose and lignin – are exceedingly cheap and plentiful, combining these into a wood-like structure is not straightforward, despite many attempts to make these ...

There are a lot of different kinds of power tools out there for woodworkers who want to amplify their skills (either professionally or as a hobby). Unfortunately, choosing the right one (especially ...

So, you’re trying to figure out how is CNC machining different from 3D printing? It’s a common question, and honestly, they’re both pretty cool ways to make stuff, but they go about it in totally ...

Makers, developers and hobbyists that are looking for all-in-one system that is capable of being a 3D printer, digitizer, CNC carver and laser cutter may be interested in a new system created by ...

Engineers at Columbia University have 3D-printed a block of "digital wood", using a voxel technique that enables the creation of objects with rich internal textures. The resin block is modelled on an ...

So, you’re trying to figure out how is CNC machining different from 3D printing? It’s a common question, especially when ...
